After 19 months of prohibition by Pandemia, the United States has detailed the requirements that citizens who seek to enter the country must meet from November 8: the borders open just in days prior to the celebration of the commercial Black Friday and theEnd of the year celebrations.This Friday, the Department of National Security (DHS) has set that foreign persons who have visa must show their vaccination certificate at the time of inspection and verbally endorse the reason for their trip, according to the published parameters.

Transit levels in ports and terrestrial checkpoints of the border are expected to register millions of millions of people, reaching levels prior to sanitary restrictions derived from pandemic.However, the vaccination certificates that Mexico has issued to its citizens have blurred the relationship between the two countries."We have to see the types of certificates [of vaccination] that Mexico has, there are many questions, different universes of people," said Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard three weeks ago, when the US Secretary of National Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, confirmed theborder reopening.

The first stage of reactivation of non -essential trips to the country will take place in November, and in a second stage in January 2022, when the requirement that all travelers entering to the United States will be completely vaccinated and have a certificate will enter into force and have a certificate and have a certificateTo try it.Until now, essential workers and travelers have been able to enter the country without a complete scheme.
